The Importance Of Emissions Testing
Emissions testing (also referred to as smog testing) is a crucial part of your vehicle's preservation. E-tests give your mechanic valuable data about your vehicle's engine and exhaust system. If major components, like your car's catalytic converter, aren't working correctly, the vehicle isn't operating as designed by the manufacturer. Inefficiency requires you to pay additional money in gas and harms our planet. You can sell an automobile without a valid e-test certification, but you get more money for a vehicle that has passed the emissions test.
What Causes A Vehicle To Fail The Emissions Test?
Several factors can cause a failed emissions test. There could be a problem with the vehicle's fuel system combining too much fuel to air required for precise combustion within the engine's cylinders, known as "running rich" and causes a smell of gasoline from the fuel moving through the engine and exhaust system without being wholly burnt. Several factors can cause this problem, like defective fuel injectors or issues with the engine's dashboard computer. There could also be problems with the vehicle's ignition system or oxygen sensors. At Bonita Point Auto Care, we use a comprehensive set of diagnostic tools to find the problem and fix it swiftly. Our highly-skilled technicians will explain each step of the process to you, our esteemed customer.
